Описание: Ch gyam Trungpa is virtually synonymous with the transmission of Tibetan Buddhism to the West. Over the course of his seventeen-year teaching career in North America, Trungpa ushered in a radically new approach to spirituality--both rooted in the ancient wisdom of the buddhadharma and thoroughly situated in the contemporary world. His teachings, grounded in what he called the "Shambhala vision," focused on the development of an enlightened society through the transformation of ordinary, everyday life into sacred activity.

Steering between Western biography and traditional Tibetan hagiography, Fabrice Midal takes you on a soaring journey through Trungpa's life and teachings. Touching on all of the most momentous events, this series of glimpses into Ch gyam Trungpa's world provides a rare view on the formation of Trungpa's thought and the remarkable body of teachings and writings that remain as his legacy. Included are accounts of:

- Ch gyam Trungpa's education in Tibet under the tutelage of great tantric masters, like Jamg n Kongtr l of Sechen and Khenpo Gangshar
- The founding of landmark centers for Buddhist practice and education, such as the Naropa Institute (now Naropa University), Karm Ch ling, and the Rocky Mountain Dharma Center (now the Shambhala Mountain Center)
- Trungpa's historic meeting with the sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa in 1974, the first-ever visit of the Karmapa to America
- Behind-the-scenes stories of Trungpa's most treasured writings, including Meditation in Action, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism, and Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior
- And much more

Описание: A counterhistory and new historiography of design.

In Design by Accident, Alexandra Midal declares the autonomy of design, in and on its own terms. This meticulously researched work proposes not only a counterhistory but a new historiography of design, shedding light on overlooked historical landmarks and figures while reevaluating the legacies of design's established luminaries from the nineteenth century to the present. Midal rejects both linear narratives of progress and the long-held perception of design as a footnote to the histories of fine art and architecture. By weaving critical analysis of the canon of design history and theory together, with special attention to the writings of designers themselves, she draws out the nuances and radical potentials of the discipline--from William Morris's ambivalence toward industry, to Catharine Beecher's proto-feminist household appliances, to the Bauhaus's Expressionist origins, and the influence of Herbert Marcuse on Joe Colombo.

We are thrilled to introduce you to this unique voice in world theater with this volume containing works for both adults and youth.

Full of love, sadness, and humor, the French Drama Syndicate awarded it "Best French Language Play of the Year" in 2001. "The Unheard of World" and "Albatross" are both plays for "all ages," fantastical tales of love, loss, and discovery. All are rich with immense theatrical possibilities.
